It was not a question about the love life of her parents, it was clearly a question of Chelsea whether she thought her mother lost credibility as a result of the Lewinski affair. Where she made several public appearances in support of her husband who had been a notorious "flirt" before. And again, if you don't think she was harmed by that fiasco, you are in denial. As the link states... Build your credibility before persuading. Understand what builds and destroys it. Protect it like a baby, because once lost it can be impossible to recover. Use it to gain commitment without having to argue your case.
I like this answer on this link... Chelsea reminds me of her mother. The press treats her with kid gloves, but she is a 27 years-old grown woman. Obviously, she can just answer the question. She mentions that her campaigning at the 70 other universities didn't prompt the Lewinsky scandal so why here? Well, her mother's papers weren't made available until recently. Now, if she's old enough to campaign for her mother, she's old enough to answer any question. She's old enough to belittle President George Bush while campaigning. She reminded me of her mother by her attacking the person who asks the question and putting them on the defensive, but she goes one step farther and attacks the very institution itself. She's a Clinton through and through and fully coached by her parents.
